Feedback:<p>When I open the site I have no idea what I am supposed to upload. So naturally I click &#x27;about&#x27; to understand what the site is about. Nothing about editing essays there, it mentions reading and downloading historical book. Sure enough, the &#x27;home&#x27; page lets me do just that. But I came here to edit essays with the community so it must be somewhere. Back to the &#x27;write page&#x27;. Maybe uploading something will take me further so I upload some random file. It says thanks but nothing else happens. I reload the page again. Finally almost by accident I find that the &quot;read essays&quot; is a link so I tap there, maybe I can find some community written and editable ones there? Sure enough I see some essays (no idea if they are community made though). And a few empty boxes as well. Anyway I click into one of them to see what this is about. Strange way to display an essay, are these excerpt or something since it is super short. No wait, those were comments. It&#x27;s hard to know directly since there is zero indication that they are from someone, no name or date or anything.<p>Anyway I downloaded an essay but I am still wondering where the community is, and the editing tool.
